SAN FRANCISCO, March 11, 2009 – Ecast has partnered with coin-op game conversion innovator Amusement Technologies to bring operators an economical, time efficient solution for converting their Rowe and NSM CD jukeboxes into high income earning digital boxes fueled by
Ecast’s place-based media network. Using Ecast’s MoJO™ core and a central control computer (CCC), Amusement Technologies’ Digital Fusion kits present a universal approach to conversion, dramatically simplifying parts replacement and conversion time.
Amusement Technologies provides Digital Fusion conversion kits for the following models:
Rowe models MM series wall box, Second gen wall box, Models 100-100E and Encore floorbox
NSM CD wall box
“I’ve always felt that Ecast is the most progressive juke content provider and I recognized an opportunity in their line-up for a solution that takes advantage of existing CD juke inventory,” said Dick Donlan, owner Amusement Technologies. “Amusement Technologies is always looking for ways to make existing capital work harder. Ecast’s technology made it easy to develop a simple-to-work kit that gives operators a very affordable way to breathe new life into their existing investment.”
Digital Fusion kits bring all the benefits of the Ecast network. Ecast offers operators the best return on their bar-based entertainment investment, combining music, games, advertising and video in a single integrated media device. With a successful track record in interactive out-of-home advertising and a growing list of top tier national brand advertisers, Ecast is the only content provider currently delivering significant supplemental income from advertising to its operators. In addition Ecast offers automatic weekly new music, regularly refreshed playlists, real-time music management, and choice of 300+ broadband providers.
“Digital Fusion would not have been possible without my partner and behind-the-scenes technical genius, Mark Capitanio,” said Donlan. “He examines the ‘what ifs’ and the ‘how about this?’ questions and works with tireless energy to come up with a solution that rarely requires any further tweaking. His technical knowledge of the coin-op industry is unsurpassed. We have worked together for over 30 years and I am very proud to have him as a partner in Amusement Technologies.”
“Dick Donlan’s name in the industry stands for quality service and smart business,” said Scott Walker, vice president of network operations, Ecast. “As an industry innovator in his own right, he shares our forward thinking philosophy. His Digital Fusion kits will be embraced by the operator community. He’s one of our top distributors and now we are honored to have him join us as a manufacturing partner.”
